I hate trying to make plans involving the teenagers. I am not allowed to set down any parameters because I am [i]just[i] the step-mom.
I can't get annoyed at the kids, because it does no good & alienates the relationship. If I get annoyed at the husband he becomes condescending & still doesn't do anything. "They are teenagers, what do you expect." or he'll tell me I'm right, but still not do anything.
Really, I am trying to make things work and make people happy, but I joined this game WAY too late.
It's a good thing I love my husband and his kids, because they all make me nuts.

You're right, the monkey prizes for the contest should be completely different. You shouldn't be able to buy one like it.

I gave an easy solution in the contest thread. Maybe we need to start another Monkey thread
All woot has to do is print up different capes and mail them out to people with the monkey prize monkeys.
You can order one of something printed now, it can't be that hard.

We can do it for ARGH!

WE LURV YOU TOO! Dork!!!
No greater love is lost than that not shared.

Sounds I hate:
A phone call getting answered by a fax machine.
A shopping cart with a bad wheel.
Cars with subwoofers that send you into cardiac arrhythmia while f bomb lyrics assault you and your kids.
A parent publicly yelling at a kid who doesn't deserve it.
A base hit from an aluminum baseball bat.

Squeeky brakes
Squeeky windshield wipers
The sound the dog makes right before they hurl.

My thoughts on the heaving sound a dog makes prior to the big event is that it means that I'm going to have to do some clean-up, probably involving carpet. It would be too easy for them to do it on the tile. No, they have to make sure and get over the nice absorbent carpet.

I really hate the fact that I didn't pay attention when my home was built...husband and builder did all. I just decorated once it was built. I felt like an idiot that I couldn't explain all the solar crap here, the windmill system, roof tiles, solar water heaters and all yesterday. I stumbled and said it's the sun and the wind. duh, think he already new that.... I haven't a clue how it works just know that I sometimes we pay a little for electric and other times the Electric Co. pays me. I hate the fact that I don't take time to learn about things that I should.

People who think they are important enough and demand special treatment always gets them where they are going a lot slower than if they were nice. There are a few people that come into my work like this and we always talk smack about them over Instant Messages since we can. We don't like helping them.

I hate when people are jerks. I try not to be a jerk, or at least to apologize when I hear myself acting like one.

Here's something fun to do at the mall at Christmas.... Carry candy canes and give them to each of the clerks you interact with. It's fun to watch their expression. Did this with son one year. He even handed one out the window to the policeman directing traffic. The ones that are jerks are really taken aback.

Nice.
I hate that I can't be here as often as I want to be. I have all this other stuff going on right now...

Great idea!!
I rarely have clerks who are jerks, almost never.
But what a great idea to give a little surprise to someone who has a stressful job!!
